Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour

Neurotechnology and Neuroplasticity Lab

In the Neurotechnology and Neuroplasticity Lab
we investigate how the brain
stores and retrieves memories. Topics currently under
investigation include spatial cognition, the
effects of alcohol, stress, depression, exercise
on the brain and memory, the role of hippocampal neurogenesis
in memory,
and auditory cortical plasticity and
reorganization after hearing loss.
We use a combination of computational modelling and empirical
studies to investigate the neural bases of learning and
memory. We are applying our research discoveries to the
development of neurally inspired hearing
assistive devices and brain-computer-interfaces.
